Many people
think that technology will never replace man when it comes from making
judgements in intense situations and dire circumstances. But is that really
true? The NYCTA effectively decided that they will never allow subway trains to
run via computer systems. They instead make sure that human supervision in
place even on some automated train lines.
I believe
that AI systems and algorithms are better in difficult situations and can
replace humans as pilots, drivers, conductors, etc. Multiple accounts of Tesla
Drivers have concurred. There many accounts in which the owners of Tesla’s new
autopilot sedan were distracted and the car solely avoided the collision. So
why is it that people are afraid of autopilot and AI driving. The movie iRobot
illustrates the fear that the general population exhibits, in my opinion. And
that is why they shy away from full automated driving. However, current
technology that people happily greet is nothing less of Autopilot: lane assist,
auto brake, parking sensors, blind spot detection and etc. These components are
pretty much driving the car and could easily do so. So the fear of Autopilot
cars is pretty ironic and absurd.
